Discovery of novel heteroaryl-substituted chalcones as inhibitors of TNF-α-induced VCAM-1 expression

Novel chalcone derivatives have been discovered as potent inhibitors of TNF-α-induced VCAM-1 expression. Thienyl or benzothienyl substitution at the meta-position of ring B helps boost potency while large substitution at the para-position on ring B is detrimental. Various substitutions are tolerated...

Zusammenfassung:Novel chalcone derivatives have been discovered as potent inhibitors of TNF-α-induced VCAM-1 expression. Thienyl or benzothienyl substitution at the meta-position of ring B helps boost potency while large substitution at the para-position on ring B is detrimental. Various substitutions are tolerated on ring A. A lipophilicity–potency relationship has been observed in several sub-series of compounds. Graphic
